Is it crazy to think about financing a 914? Since I don't have the cash available at the moment, I'm considering financing one. Anyone use JJ Best, Woodside Credit or other means of financing a "classic" car. I know a lot of banks don't want to finance older cars so I'm not sure exactly what all the options are and what the restrictions or rates would be on something like a 914.
I'm curious because I came across a 914 that I like and if financing is an option, I might want to look into it further. EDIT: Here's a link to some pictures of the car I'm considering paying interest on, I realize important pictures of the longs are not included and the hell hole area isn't the best picture. 1974 2.0L L96B |

I guess my biggest "fear" is that if I take the next 3-4 years to save up to buy something that is well sorted then the prices will be double what they are today thanks to all of the articles being written to buy NOW, lol.
I'm looking to buy something that I will own for the rest of my life and drive as long as I am able. Unless of course the opportunity to obtain an original /6 falls in my lap, haha. Another reason is my dad is 77 and it would be a blast to attend PCA events with my parents in my own car and his 991 cabriolet. |

Depending on what type of loan you're looking at, you'd be better off paying yourself what you'd otherwise be paying the bank until you have enough to buy the car you want. |
